friendship

My Heart is With The Whole of Vocal: Tom Bradbury.
I chose a candle for this article today, as I wish to send all my heart to Vocal and the family of Tom Bradbury.

Sooooophiiiiiiie! Have you received any of my letters? Letters written in the form of art and literature; I’ve been waiting to see you all again for years. I keep checking in to see if anyone’s come out of the woodwork to say hello, but the metaphorical mailbox is always empty. Now, here I am again, writing another letter of how you took a 9-year-old girl and made her feel like she could take on the world. …Or was I ten?

No More Lonely Friends
For a vast majority of millennials the pandemic has upended our social lives. Friendships that you had from childhood are broken, high-school friends may have forgotten you and long distance friendships with people you met in college are stressful to maintain. It's hard and certainly terrifying to think that the possibility of being alone is likely. Relationships drift apart and friendships can end over the most petty and insignificant reasons. This is how the group No More Lonely Friends began. The story of Marissa Meizz and how she started the movement was told in the New York Times. She started with a picnic in Central Park that began an expansion nationwide as she received more attention from social media.
